Wednesday Afternoon Commute - New Transport Plane

On Friday, the DC Committee for the Environment, Public Works and Transportation will have its public oversight hearing for the Bicycle Advisory Committee.

New Bikey Stuff, like the Stanton Park CaBi station and bike lanes on 3rd NE and R NE.

The SW waterfront will have as many bike parking spaces as car parking spaces. "A second Capital Bikeshare station will be installed at 9th Street and Maine Avenue to join the one already at 7th Street (which will move slightly from its present location to be closer to Maine Avenue)."

NH Transit allows bikes on its Northeast Corridor trains except during rush hour, for high-platform stations only. If MARC adopted the NJ Transit policy, then it would allow bikes on the Penn Line except for Union Station. So one would have to change at New Carrollton to Metro, which already allows bikes off-peak anyway. We will need to get MARC officials to explain the difference.

DCBAC and DDOT should be two key players in our infrastructure improvement efforts so it seems like there should be a great opportunity in there somewhere, but at the same time if the focus is on administrative operations issues there's probably not much room to bring issue-specific testimony.
